Acer CB271 bmirux 27" Full HD 1920 x 1080 Zero Frame Home Office Monitor | AMD FreeSync | 1ms VRB | 75Hz | 99% sRGB | Delta E <1 | Height-adjustable stand with tilt and swivel functions (USB Type-C and HDMI connection)
I bought two of these monitors to replace my old 27" 60Hz BenQ panels that I've had for years because they didn't quite match my new LG 34UM69G-B Ultrawide. I play games on these monitors and need something with the same specs: IPS, 1ms response, FreeSync, DisplayPort, 75 Hz (mixed refresh rates can cause strange behavior on Windows eg when watching videos on one monitor it stutters on others gaming and I often lose FPS) because the price is also a big plus. Switching to these solved my problem Games on the ultrawide screen no longer stutter and lose FPS when watching YT broadcasts or videos on another screen, and games previously shared across all screens now run smoothly across all screens without any weird stuttering.
A height-adjustable stand is also a must. My setup includes many possible uses, casual games and sim racing. I need to be able to lower and raise all screens depending on what I'm doing. I used to use a VESA tripod to hold all my monitors up, but it mounted too high and to change it I had to take out the monitors, unscrew them, align them, screw them back in, and reattach the monitors. This was a lot of work so I decided for simplicity's sake to put each monitor on its own stand for easy movement. It moves up and down with ease and maintains its height with ease.
I read many reviews complaining about the screen door effect. Here's what you get for accuracy of this size. Individual pixels are larger than a 1440p or 4k panel. So if you look closely, you can see the individual pixels. I personally don't have a problem with it, I can definitely see it if I'm close enough to the screen, but it disappears after about a foot. If you're using the screen while it's off, you may need to change your approach.
Calibrate the monitor to match the ultra-fast demands of the job and the default is really bad. I used a set as close as possible to the monitor settings and then tweaked them in the Nvidia Control Panel. It would be easier to dial the monitor calibration tool, but I was able to adjust it pretty precisely just by turning the knobs. The same settings apply to both screens. So being able to configure one monitor and copy settings to the other is nice. You don't have to worry about trying to set them one by one.
